[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, avoid the suburbs at all costs - most of the whiners and complainers about unfriendliness and traffic are people stuck in traffic hell.

Live in DC, have a short commute, and you will find it is a much easier place to live than most major cities - more affordable, more space, and people in fact are friendly and welcoming to transplants.[/quote]

Thanks so much! Our target is living in DC. Fingers crossed we can eventually find a place to buy![/quote]

I will put in a plug for Bethesda. It gets a bad rap on this board but it’s more dense and walkable than most of NW.  It is further out but how much that impacts your commute depends on where you work, how you get there (metro vs car), etc. [/quote]

Sure.  OP loved London and Hong Kong.  So Bethesda is the obvious choice. :roll: [/quote]

You’re just proving my point that it gets a bad rap from people who donmt know what they are talking about.

If OP wants a SFH with density and walkability they could do lot worse than the neighborhoods near dt Bethesda. Georgetown, Cleveland Park, Tenleytown are not better.

What’s the point of saying “it’s not HK or London”. It’s also not New  Berlin WI [/quote]

Thank you! I think we want row house as we aren't really "yard maintenance" people. My concern is my kids going from a one acre backyard/swing set in a large suburban home...to city life. As long as we go out and enjoy the parks and city, I hope they are fine[/quote]
